The mum in my head

The mum in my head

There is a mum who lives inside my head. She is silently judging, always offering opinions about my parenting. I hear her cautions daily and I second guess my steps..

  • Generosity

    When I was young, Dad would often give me some coins to throw in the bag when the collection was taken up at church. But I still clearly remember the first time I gave a chunk of my own money.

  • A house divided

    Being a relatively new adherent to the Anglican tradition, I had the experience of listening and praying for the recent meeting of Anglican bishops in the UK regarding the rumours and tremors of a possible schism.

  • Finishing

    I believe New Year greetings are in order! Happy 2016! My hope is that wherever you\'re reading this from, you are feeling refreshed and excited for the year ahead; having enjoyed some time out with family and friends over the holiday period.

  • Want to want God

    Some days I might feel like I want nothing to do with God. I feel that because life is going well, I am capable enough to keep it that way. Because my concerns aren\'t being realised, I am the one that\'s in control. But every now and then I get a wake-up call: this is not reality.

  • Is Jesus the answer?

    Answering questions seemed easy as a kid. At Sunday school it seemed like nine out of ten times the answer was \'Jesus\'. It was easy to put your hand up and have something to say.

  • Journal that

    I got to the end of another year and 2016 greeted me with rain, port and a host of decisions to make I decided to focus on the important things; like untangling my necklaces from my earrings and getting rid of clothes that no longer fit me!

  • Is miraculous healing just a thing of the past?

    \'I command you to get up and walk!\', the preacher said. The crowd watches with eager anticipation, to see if the man (crippled for many years) will get up and begin to walk again.

  • The Friend Project

    Yesterday I realised that my circle of friends has altered dramatically in the last few months.

  • The whole truth and nothing but THE truth

    The truth is a timeless topic of interest, not just for me but for many others throughout human history. This is a common pursuit—as soon as we are aware of our surroundings we begin to question how, why, and what we know.

  • Are the Brisbane Broncos the real Green machine?

    We now live in a sporting landscape where the sand can shift by the hour, not by the season. NRL clubs must now adapt and be fluid in their ability to maximise opportunities.

  • My struggle with the Syrian Refugee Crisis

    My heart has been so torn with this current refugee crisis. The sheer magnitude of the situation is overwhelming and as I look at this crisis more struggles keep coming up.
